  1. Tailgate damper install Tip

    I just wanted to thank you for posting this helpful tip! I successfully installed this today and I'm 100% positive I would have stripped the Torx head had I not read about this before. Those bolts are on extremely tight for a Torx head bolt. They're definitely not intended to ever come out. I...
  2. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    First off, congrats on formulating a post title that basically went viral here. Well done! I'm in my 60's and have owned lots of vehicles. The only previous vehicle that I've owned that I would trade the Lightning for is a 1964 1/2 Mustang convertible in collector-condition that I bought in CA...
  3. Liking my Lightning... Challenge.

    You could call this trip “Hero or Zero” I know where I’d put my money :giggle:
  4. Owners - Do you drive in one pedal mode or traditional ?

    Wait...Are you're really saying that a big reason you bought a Lightning was that you wouldn't need to change brake pads very often because of 1PD? Putting low brake maintenance that high on the priority list when making a vehicle purchasing decision is way more, well....let's say...
  5. Software updates?

    I was surprised yesterday when I received a notification while I was parked with the vehicle on that an OTA update was pending for 1 am the next morning. I wish I had taken a pic of the screen. First time I’d ever seen that. I confirmed this morning that it actually did happen.
  6. Owners - Do you drive in one pedal mode or traditional ?

    I've read nearly every post on this topic and I've yet to be persuaded that there's any significant benefit to the vehicle (battery, brakes, etc) to using 1PD over 2PD. And I think a valid argument can be made that it may actually be more dangerous in some situations. But It does seem like...
  7. PTS/FDRS VIN Check Thread

    I just bought a new 2023 VIN 1FTVW1EL7PWG58631 I would be especially interested in any info on the Control Module BECM status. I received the notice on the FordPass app to take it in to the dealer for the 23B57 update. The dealer kept it a full day only to tell me they couldn't do it and...
  8. Lightning Tops List for Tesla Trade-ins

    I suspect that the $1,500 "Tesla Competitive Conquest Bonus Cash" that Ford offers to Tesla owners may have something to do with it.
  9. Can't buy a vehicle if it is going to strand me

    You’re simply not ready to buy an EV. Stick to an ICE until 95% of your current fears are gone.
  10. âś… 5/22/2023 Lightning Build Week Group (MY2023)

    Update: I got a text from the sales manager yesterday that my Lightning was in. I just got back and left empty handed. My MSRP went up $2,500 which put the MSRP at $82,009 so it's over the $80K limit for the tax credit. No price protection offered. Super low trade value offered for my...

    Got the "Shipped" email yesterday. Estimated arrival 6/30-7/6. But right now I'm not inclined to go through with the purchase. So much has changed in the market since I placed my order in December-- And then there's the issue of the MSRP increasing above $80K. Unless the dealer is willing to...

    Here's my order and the sticker showing the price increase. Assuming that I have "price protection", do you know what the IRS will require for proof? The screen shot of my order would be the only thing I have. I'd hate to buy it and then have a problem with the IRS over the tax credit due to...

    Yes, that's the way I understood it when I ordered. Base MSRP + Options = Total MSRP for tax credit calculation purposes. My original order is below. The Base MSRP at the time was $74,474. I added $3,140 in options for a total of $77,614. I pulled up my sticker last week and it showed Base...

    I also received the email about the delay. But my biggest concern is that my sticker shows an MSRP increase of $2,500 over my order price which now puts my MSRP over $80k which put my tax credit in doubt. Maybe this has been covered in a thread somewhere else, but does anyone have any insights...
